Hand Made Pipe

Trying my hand at product photography. My friend makes pipes, so I broke out the light tent to see if I could help him out with his website presentations.

Looks great Ron! Perfect background, no seams and wonderful lighting and detail on the pipe!

[Peter]

Lovely graded light - Excellent colour and texture

[Denise Wood]

Looks lie you've done a great job :)

[Paul Harbath]

Great work. Tough with the pure white and dark brown in one exposure...

[Sunkist]

like a lot

[Peter]

Looks a very professional image to me Ron, great lighting with all the lovely details clear and sharp against the black background, maybe a new string to your bow ;)

[Ron]

@pjtphoto I was hoping you'd weigh in, Peter, you being a commercial photographer. Your positive comments mean a lot to me. Thanks!

[Ron]

@marmaladeskyes @gilbertwood @paulharbath @jin1x I'm glad that somebody liked it! I had a rather humbling experience having submitted this to a photo stock agency. It was roundly rejected for poor focus, bad rastering, among other deficiencies. Wow, those guys are tough! The pipe maker was very happy, though, so that's all that really counts. :-)

@pcoulson Thanks, Peter. As you can see from my comment above, that string is quite frayed. I consider in a learning experience and remain undaunted!

[Louise & Ken]

Wow...looks pretty exceptional to me! I suspected stock photography companies were pretty demanding, but wow...humbling, I guess!

[Sarah Munnings]

Think this looks fab. I haven't braved a stock agency yet......they don't sound like fun!

[Tatiana]

Все отлично! А если бы еще дымок из трубки...

There's quite the craftsmanship in this handmade pipe. Your product photography looks good from here. I like the pipe on black. Makes the details stand out sharply.
